The BSD serves as a web/ftp/mail server. All have NetGear 100BaseT cards and are connected through a DLink 10/100Mb hub ("with switch" e.g. one of those that makes a 100mb and 10mb segments and switches between them). Running an FTP client on either the Win98 machine or the NT machine, sending files *to* the BSD machine goes full speed. However, getting files *from* the BSD ftpd runs at less than 10 kbytes/sec. Monstrous! (And the blinky lights on the hub are barely going.) The web server seems to have the same problem, e.g. if I put the same files in a www directory and try to download them with the browser things go about the same painful speed. Transfers between Windows machines seem normal (even copies through the 10mb segment are a lot faster). Any suggestions profoundly appreciated. ...Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
